Chapter 36: Gu Worms
Mu Xi sniffed the gyokuro cream carefully, hooked the corners of her lips slightly, but did not answer the shopkeeper's words, closed the lid, handed the box back to the shopkeeper, and said: "On weekdays, little women rarely use emollient balm, since the gyokuro cream is rare, let's leave it to other guests." I came here today mainly to buy medicinal herbs, I wonder if Tongjitang has blood vines, white mandalas and seven-pointed grass? ”
The shopkeeper's face changed drastically and asked, "What does the young lady do when she buys a mandala?" And the white one, the white mandala is extremely poisonous, a drop can poison a cow, this kind of medicinal herb shop easily dare not sell it. ”
Compared with the shopkeeper's panicked appearance, Mu Xi was much calmer, and said unhurriedly: "Since no one buys this medicinal material, what is the shopkeeper afraid of, if something really happens, the government can find out as soon as it is checked." What's more, all things in the world are mutually reinforcing, and the poison that can poison people is not a good medicine to save people. ”
The shopkeeper carefully scrutinized Mu Xi's words, what she said made sense, and then saw that she was calm and composed, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, she was about to be in her twilight years, and she was not as good as a little girl's concentration, she stabilized her mind, and said with a smile again: "The little one is confused, if the young lady buys a few dollars, she still has it, and she doesn't dare to sell it if she has more." ”
Mu Xi nodded and said, "I only need a few dollars, and the shopkeeper will give me seven dollars." ”
The shopkeeper said embarrassedly: "The white mandala is extremely rare, a coin is a hundred taels of silver, and the young lady wants seven yuan, this is ......"
Mama Xu couldn't stand it anymore, just now the Baihua Jade Dew Cream, the shopkeeper hinted at Mu Xi in and out of his words, afraid that she couldn't afford it, and even more, she also talked about the Qin Mansion, and now she suspected that Mu Xi couldn't afford it here, she sneered: "I said the store, don't take a good look at who is in front of you?" ”
Mu Xi didn't make a sound to stop Mama Xu, Mama Xu understood what she meant at the moment, so she continued: "We are all slaves and maids of the Qin Mansion, and this is the goddess doctor who solved the plague in Yunxi City and saved the Night King, the goddess doctor praised by the world, Mu Xi Mu girl is also, at this time, you can get us medicinal materials, right?" ”
When he heard Mama Xu ask him if he knew who the little girl in front of him was, he had dozens of conjectures, but he didn't expect that she was the goddess doctor praised by the world, Miss Mu. The shopkeeper blinked vigorously, as if he couldn't believe that the girl in front of him was a goddess doctor praised by everyone, and he even wanted to rub his eyes, afraid that his eyes would be spent before he was old, but in the end he endured it.
After a long time, he came back to his senses from the shock, took a few steps back, bowed his head and bowed deeply: "The villain really has eyes and does not know gold and jade, I never thought that I could meet the goddess doctor today, the villain is really honored, the small shop is really full of brilliance, I will go to grab medicinal materials for the girl, and the girl will sit for a while." ”
The shopkeeper's adoring appearance made Mama Xu and the others laugh, and they all covered their sleeves and snickered.
At this time, Chun Xing came over, stepped into the lobby, and saw Mu Xi hurriedly running over.
"Girl, the slaves and maids are all placed, don't worry."
Looking up and seeing that it was Chun Xing coming, Mu Xi smiled and nodded, "Well, thank you for your hard work." ”
The shopkeeper came over with a few packets of medicinal herbs, handed them to Mu Xi, and before he finished, he offered the Baihua Jade Dew Paste and said: "I blamed the villain for neglecting the girl before, and this Jade Dew Paste was regarded as a reparation for the girl, and the girl was asked to accept it." ”
Mu Xi gently pushed open the box and said: "I can't help it, since this thing has been dedicated to the nobles in the palace, how can the common people compare with the nobles, Mu Xi really can't bear this kind of holy product." In addition, the silver of the medicinal materials also troubled the shopkeeper to send someone to the Qin Mansion to receive it, and Mu Xi said goodbye. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied, "It's easy to say." ”
Large households rarely bring cash to purchase, almost all of them are sent by the store to the house to ask, and those who have a head and a face, no one will deny the price, and the store also looks at the credit of people, not everyone can pick up the goods without paying.
Out of Tongji Hall, Mu Xi handed the medicinal materials to Mama Xu and said, "Mama, please go back to the house first, let Chunxing accompany me for a while, I will go back soon to make medicine for the eldest son." ”
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, Mama Xu was not afraid of Mu Xi's safety, but if she came out together, if she was left alone, she was afraid that the old lady would blame, Mama Xu said: "Although the girl is strolling, the old slaves will follow behind and serve, let's go back together." ”
Mu Xi covered her sleeves and smiled: "Is it difficult for Mama Xu to be afraid that Mu Xi will run away?" ”
Mama Xu is subordinate where dare to agree, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, the girl laughed, the old slave was just worried that the girl was outside alone." ”
Mu Xi patted Mama Xu's shoulder and comforted: "Mama, don't panic, Mu Xi is joking with you, you can go back, I won't lose it." ”
Seeing that she insisted on not letting herself follow, she had to nod and said, "Okay, although this is the capital, it is better to be careful, and the girl should return to the house as soon as possible." ”
Mama Xu took the three maids back to Qin's mansion, Mu Xi took Chunxing to the West Gate Jinxiu Street, at first Chunxing didn't find out, and then entered the south gate and the side gate of the West Gate, Chun Xing suddenly pulled Mu Xi nervously and said: "Girl, you can't go to this West Street, it's not safe to mix fish and dragons on West Street, let's go around South Street, and then go back, otherwise the old lady should be in a hurry." ”
Mu Xi patted her hand comfortingly and said: "You and I are not dressed in a fancy way, most of the people who plot misdeeds are money, let's take a look at it, it will be fine, don't worry." ”
Chun Xing still didn't want her to go in, but she was just a subordinate after all, and it was hard to obstruct her, so she had to follow Mu Xi into Jinxiu Street in embarrassment.
The environment of Fairview Street is quite refreshing, with many shops, small vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street, and a lot of people coming and going, and the originally wide street has become a little crowded.
Chun Xing was afraid that she would be separated from Mu Xi, so she firmly pulled her sleeves, and watched the bustling crowd around her vigilantly with a pair of eyes, for fear that someone would be unfavorable to Mu Xi.
There is a way that it is difficult to give up on her natural beauty, just with Mu Xi's beautiful and refined appearance and independent temperament, it attracted passers-by to turn back frequently, and she was followed by a delicate and lovely little maid, this master and servant were soon targeted by the gangsters on the street.
There are countless shops and stalls selling medicinal materials on West Street, Mu Xi carefully looked at the medicinal materials on the stalls, most of them are fakes, but they are also treasures. For example, snake withered grass, which is not available in ordinary pharmacies, this kind of herb is very rare and can detoxify, but there are many herbs on the market that can detoxify and the yield is as high as cow's hair, and no one wants to use snake withered grass with a small yield.
